For the last number of years, I have worked closely with the team at Tourism Media to produce, edit and colour grade for the largest travel YouTube channel, Expedia. While editing these videos gives me all sorts of envious wanderlust, the team and I are always trying to push the level of quality to give our audience the most jaw-dropping beauty and informative experiences.
It was awesome to see that the agency threw some of our videos from the Travel Guide series into the ring for the 41st annual Telly Awards. It was even greater to see a number of them picked up bronze, silver and gold awards, including one for Best Editing for our energetic video on Barcelona.
The Telly Awards have been honoring excellence across all screen media since 1979. This year alone receiving 12,000 entries across 5 continents. The event works closely with NABshow, ProductionHUB and IFP, to name a few. Previous winners of the Telly Awards include CBS Interactive, HBO, Comcast, Conde Nast, Team Coco and many many others.
Yosemite Travel Guide Wins Communicator Award
Each week the team at Tourism Media and I work hard to create showstopping and deeply informative vacation travel guides for Expedia. As the in-house editor and colourist, I am proud of each video we create but when we finished the post production on our Yosemite Vacation Travel Guide we knew it was something special.
The guide shows viewers the spectacular national park and acts as a gateway for those thinking about visiting one of the USA great national parks. The park is so stunning that no matter what shot I chose, i couldn’t pick wrong.
A few weeks ago Tourism Media was surprised when our Yosemite guide won a communicator award from the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts (AIVA) in New York. We received our statue last week and the team has a refreshed yet humble energy in the office. We are looking forward to bringing the world better and better travel guides throughout 2017.
